Hindi ko maintindihan ang pagbabago ng pakikitungo sa akin ni Darius. He is still the mischievous and devilish jerk but there's something different. Siguro dahil natural lang na malandi siya kaya gano'n.

Palagi na kaming nagsasabay tuwing breakfast at dinner. And now he sleeps on the master's bedroom. Halos hindi ako makatulog dahil palagi siyang nakayakap sa'kin. Napakalandi lang talaga. Subukan niya lang na may gawin bukod doon ay masisipa ko siya.

"Come on, sit here." he tapped the space beside him.

Nakaupo siya sa sofa at gabi na ngayon. He wants to watch a movie with me on the living room. Ngayon lang namin nagawa ito at nagulat pa ako na siya ang nag-aya.

"Bakit? Wala ka bang trabaho?" 

He smirked. "This is my job as your husband."

Kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa sinabi niya. Mas napapadalas ang panlalandi niya at mas nakakairita. Nakabusangot ang mukha ko nang umupo sa may tabi niya. Natural na umakbay siya sa'kin kaya naman masama ko siyang binalingan ng tingin.

"I'm fulfilling one of your bucket lists." he whispered.

"W-What?"

"Watching a movie while snuggling, right?" he smirked.

Namula ang buong mukha ko sa sinabi niya.

Paano niya nalaman ang tungkol doon? At ni isang tao ay wala akong pinagsabihan nang tungkol roon! And I want to do it with a boyfriend, not with this man who I married for convenience!

"I kept in mind everything that you said when you were drunk." he playfully smirked. "What a romantic husband, right?" 

I plastered a fake smile. "I'm such a lucky wife."

Mas lalo siyang napangisi sa reaksyon ko. Hindi ko naman na kailangang magpanggap at malaya ko nang ipinapahayag sa kanya kung gaano ako naiirita at nanggagalaiti. He still looks amused, like I'm a lab rat that he wanted to try his experiments on.

"You're not the romantic type, you're the fuck-with-motive type." I commented.

"Hmm? What motive?" 

"Tss..." I rolled my eyes. "Alam ko na ang mga dinadala mong babae ay mga anak ng mga mayayamang tycoon. You fuck them to gain information or to manipulate them for your own benefit." 

Iyon nga ang napansin ko sa mga dinadala niyang babae. After the session he would call someone, telling some random information about the woman. Palagi kong naabutan iyon sa tuwing dumadaan ako sa may opisina niya. 

"You noticed? I'm so touched that you're showing interest on me now." he mocked.

"Wow, you're not even going to deny it?"

"Why would I? You were somehow right about it."

"Somehow?" I scoffed.

"It's called hitting two birds with one stone, little Miss. I get the information needed and I also get pleasured at the same time."

"You're using your body for that?" hindi ko napigilan ang pagngiwi ko. I mean, wala namang kaso sa akin dahil katawan niya naman 'yan at sariling desisyon.

"It's not as if I don't enjoy the sex. What's so wrong about it? I get what I want and they do the deed for me." he looked at me with a mocking glance. "Little kid like you won't understand."

Napaangat ang kilay ko sa sinabi niya. "It's a dirty strategy no matter how you look at it."

"But it works." pagmamalaki niya.
